Happy New Year!🎉

Ellison Families,


We hope everyone had a relaxing holiday season. We’re excited to welcome all our students back to the hive!


With 2025 here, it’s a great time to start setting goals for what we want to achieve this year.

Setting goals helps us change our habits, overcome challenges, and reach new skills. It’s a chance to grow and step out of our comfort zone.


A fun and easy way to get students involved in goal setting is by creating vision boards. This activity is enjoyable for the whole family! In this newsletter, you’ll find helpful tips and ideas for making vision boards with your children. Setting and tracking goals also teaches valuable life skills like planning, organization, time management, communication, and confidence.



In addition, we’ve included ideas to encourage kindness. Kindness is a wonderful gift we give to ourselves and others, and our hope is that these acts of KINDNESS help make the world a better place!


As always, we are here to help; feel free to reach out via phone or email—our contact information is provided at the bottom of this newsletter.


Warmest regards,

❤️Mrs. Jordan and Mrs. Sills❤️
